Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
Storage Instructions
- Cool Completely: Before storing, ensure the Muddy Buddies are fully cooled and the chocolate is set (about 30 minutes on a wax-paper-lined pan) to prevent sticking.
- Airtight is Key: Use airtight plastic containers, storage tins, or freezer-safe bags to keep them fresh.
- Room Temp vs. Fridge: While they can stay at room temperature, storing them in the refrigerator keeps them extra crunchy and less sticky.
- Warm Environment: If you live in a warm, humid environment, it is highly recommended to store them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from melting.
- Freezing: Freeze them in a sealed container or bag. You can eat them straight from the freezer or let them thaw for a few minutes.
